Some examples of this freedom and control that I personally enjoy since rooting my Android include the ability to install Samba so that I can share my Android drive on my Microsoft Windows network.  I can install VNC Server on my rooted Android so I can see and control it from my desktop computer.  I can also change annoyances about the UI such as disabling the stupid Google search button and an annoying side button that causes me grief.  Finally, I like to remove Verizon apps (bloatware) that I will never use, yet Verizon locks onto the phone.  Any of these carrier forced apps can be removed once you have root.  These are just a few small examples of things that can only be accomplished after gaining root access.Some examples of this freedom and control that I personally enjoy since rooting my Android include the ability to install [[Samba]] so that I can share my Android drive on my Microsoft Windows network.  I can install [[VNC Server]] on my rooted Android so I can see and control it from my desktop computer.  I can also change annoyances about the UI such as disabling the stupid Google search button and an annoying side button that causes me grief.  Finally, I like to remove [[Verizon]] apps (bloatware) that I will never use, yet Verizon locks onto the phone.  Any of these carrier forced apps can be removed once you have root.  Samsung tablet users are quick to dump [[TouchWiz]] in favor of the standard Android interface, which requires root.  These are just a few small examples of things that can only be accomplished after gaining root access.[[Category:Computer_Technology]][[Category:Hardware]][[Category:Laptops and Notebooks]][[Category:PDA]][[Category:Android]]
